I want to start a youtube but I am a little afraid of my stutter (I respect this page’s policy on sponsoring or advertising so I will not say my channel name or ask people to subscribe to me), I recently wanted to get into my creative side and start making you youtube videos, not for fame or anything but for myself and making content for myself and maybe put smiles on people’s faces. But I forget that I have a stutter and I have had times my friends would record stuff and I would stutter and block and feel pressure. I want to do this for myself and maybe use this as a form of therapy for myself and get confident in speaking because when I am confident I rarely stutter (but I am not confident a lot of the time so I stutter a lot) I really want to make this happen because my friends even say I have a good pure energy about myself and I want to push myself to be better and inspire other people, even talk about stammering and my experiences. I need to get over it and not let it define me.
